However, this motor is not where you should look for higher-end, or hobby grade, performance (in terms of velocity and response time). They will not deliver it at 4.8V or similar voltage, and with higher battery voltage the stock metal brushes will smoke quickly. Even if you install carbon (FC130) brush packs in them to correct that, they will not give you the punch you are looking for.

If you are expecting that sort of performance and planning on upgrading from toy grade AA holders to a proper power system, there are far more suited motor choices, including the motors that come with your gun, which only require higher voltage and better current capability batteries to outperform and outlast the RM2.
